ok my first question is: does RS replace your controller? and if theres one for RSU, whats the part #?

second questions is: are IC-3s really worth it?

third question is: Has anybody tryied Krylon fusion paint products?

Last question IS (drumroll) : what is the car body ASSY on the RS parts list?

[Joey]

1) No, not unless there's something very obviously wrong with it, like a human eye is stapled to the battery compartment.

2) I don't have them, but the popular concensus is that they sure as heck are.

3) Uh...hmm. I haven't.

4) I haven't a clue.

IMO, The IC3's are well worth it. The Car Body Assy. is the......car body parts.

I must agree, I preformed several tests. Here is the setup, RSX, Stock Motor, Lights, hard tread tires front & rear, on carpet.

Duracell, almost 15 minutes running time, barely ran on carpet.
Duracell, no lights, 30 minutes, struggled on carpet.

600 mAh Ni-Mh, 30+- minutes running time, did OK on carpet.
600 mAh Ni-Mh, No Lights, 45+- Minutes Running Time, Did OK on carpet.

800 mAh IC-3, 45+ Minutes running time, hauled on carpet better than Duracell on smooth surface.
800 mAh IC-3, 55+- Minutes running time, hauled on carpet better than Duracell on smooth surface.

I have to say that the IC-3 batteries are able to output more power than any other batteries I tried. They are designed for high drain devices. And there are few devices that drain any more than an RC car.

Does the car body assembly include the car body, not just the parts?

[neurokinetik]

I would figure it would be the complete body set with stock hood, bumpers and side skirts, just like it comes when you buy the starter kit. It would be nice if both the front and rear body mounts were included as well, but until somebody actually gets one, we won't know.

IC3s are Rayovac batteries, 800mAH. Are you sure that isn't what you have already? :lol:

IC-3 is made by Rayovac. The recharge time is 15 minutes. The charger is about $40.00 for a 4 batt charger, and about $30.00 for a 2 batt charger. a 4 pack is about $14.00. So for 2 4 packs and a 4 batt charger you are looking at about $68.00. I get about 45 minutes of driving time with the light kit running. I have not done a full run without the lights yet so I am not sure how long of a run time I would get without them.

another is, does anybody knoe what the "transmitter kit" is on the RSU list? is that the controller? or something else?

Hmm, i got my charger for 27 bucks and my bats for 11 bucks, you must have got jipped. I get about an hour of run time (unless you are throttle happy, w/o lights)
